as is mitt romney's speech yesterday. he has it can sized the president for cutting military spending. >> yeah. this is the sequester that everybody is talk about -- >> bill: he is talk about across the board cuts in the defense department. but obama said he doesn't want those cuts. >> exactly. i believe we could absorb those cuts at levels away above our cold war average. but romney wants a $2 trillion increase. he didn't say that yesterday, and that's because it is one of the flaws in his positioning. he doesn't know how to pay for it. where do you get that money? what are you going to cut? there's not enough big birds to pay for that. [ laughter ] >> bill: and the other -- on the middle east, right -- >> yes. >> bill: where he says the president's policy is all wrong. >> these are the neo-cons. he postures on this. he acts strong acts tough, says he wants a two-state solution here. but that is not what he told his done no, sir. he says he doesn't really know how to solve the middle east problem, when we quote should ki

peter, real quickly though, governor romney is going to be giving a big foreign policy speech coming up after the weekend? >> reporter: that's scheduled to take place on monday back here fittingly in virginia. it will be at vmi on monday. it's an opportunity to attack the president again and dominate romney's readiness to lead. this is something they were prepared to talk about at the debate, supposed to be a debate about domestic issues. they thought there was a potential during the final 15 to 20 minutes when the conversation turned to the role of governing for mitt romney to perhaps be able to attack the president's mishandling in their view of foreign policy issues. since that didn't take place they hope to make that point this coming monday. >> peter alexander traveling with the romney camp in virginia. peter, thank you. >>> two days after the first presidential debates and democrats are still having this bit of a hangover as republicans try to continue seizing on wednesday night's momentum. it was a big night for mitt romney, but will that first face-off really affect how undec
